Sexual Abuse
Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse are often vulnerable to experiencing a range of challenging and often overwhelming emotions.
Some survivors experience severe anxiety and depression. Others struggle with low self-esteem or guilt and shame about their abuse.
Many survivors of survivors of sexual abuse struggle, as adults, to develop healthy intimate and sexual relationships.
Trauma from past abuse can cause survivors to struggle to trust others and often prevent them from feeling free to fully and wholly connect with their partners.
The good news is that, as therapists, we have a wide array of clinically proven interventions that we can draw from to support your journey towards healing.
For some clients, that might mean connecting current difficulties with their sexuality to their past abuse. For others, it might mean developing healthier skills to better cope in the present with the pain from their past.
